I have a sign on the outside of my bedroom door that reads: "Of course I need it today. If I wanted it tomorrow, I'd order it tomorrow!"

That is the most awesome sign I've ever heard of. I'm making a shirt out of that and ordering stuff from stores just so I can point to it when they ask me.

Well, there's definately a limited amount in my home state.  My home state only has LBT 1 and the last two DVDs for the TV Series that came out.

How can this be possible when I can see the HUGE popularity of LBT with my own eyes?  Looks like me making those DVDs for my cousin will be a good idea since she just LOVES LBT so much. :)

I honestly don't see what you're so worried about.  So your hometown didn't get many copies, or they all sold.  That's an issue?

For my cousin it is.  She's only 5, so it's likely she doesn't know anything about shopping on the internet.  On top of that, do you know how often she comes by to borrow my LBT movies?  A lot more than you may think.  She's crazy about LBT.  On top of that, she nearly keeps the dang things.  So I have to take them from her and she gets quite upset about that.

Making these DVDs for her is the best move I can make.  She won't be borrowing them from me for keeps anymore once I'm done. :)

She was hoping to get her mom to buy them, but with that impossible now, (My aunt doesn't like shopping online, so don't ask about it.) something needs to be done about it all, and I think I have the solution now. :^.^:

Sounds like a good idea if she likes LBT so much, she can have her own copies and that way she has hers and you have yours.

I just did some reasearch here in Sweden on this matter,
Most stores have them, all of them. And so does all E-stores.
And now, the series (on swedish) have starten on CN, shame I don't owe the channel, but I'm not sure if I wanna experience the dubbing...
I hate my native tounge!  :P:
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Well Pokeplayer, if I really knew what your true intentions are, I would make you EXACT COPIES of the LBT movies that you can burn to DVD and send them to you so you wouldn't have to use DVD rips, but I hope you can understand that I have no way of knowing what you'll actually be doing with them so I guess you're stuck with rips.  Besides, each movie since its quality hasn't been reduced would be rather large (around 4.2GB each).  I doubt you'd want to download that. :p

I've seen lbt 13 in the library here. Though, not in the shops..

When looking on dutch ebay... you find totally NOTHING.. It's soooo dead here, isn't it other dutch guys? -_- It's sad. I'm going to show everyone what lbt is and make everyone crazy with it until it comes back *plays superhero*  :lol

Have you offered if your aunt gives you the money to buy them from Amazon or someplace for her?  That would be a nice gesture.  :)

Good luck.  There are also online, though some folks dislike buying stuff online or are unable to or refuse.

The program I hold, Pinnacle Studio 10, has an adaptar that connects to my VCR/DVD player and routes to my PC.  However, there was a problem when I first got it.  For some odd reason, the adaptar overloaded my PC, making it restart itself.  I nicely got around this with a 4-port hub. (That will come in handy for a few other things.) This program easily records the video as it plays and does a fantastic job of it in the end. (Picture and sound are just SO perfect.  Even the lines are in sync with the movie.) A normal LBT video at Good Quality ends up taking up 3.6 GB of space with this thing. (Wouldn't be surprised if Best Quality made 5 GB on it.  Note that it does it in DV when it starts.) However, that can be reconverted perfectly into Dvix at less than 600 MB without customizing it yourself. (Even at this quality it does a fantastic job.) After that, you can easily get rid of the 3.6 GB file that it originally made with the simple "delete" method. (Right-click, delete and all that junk.)

It can even transfer it into other types of files you prefer.  Even PSP and iPod compatible files.

It's done a fantasic job with both VHS vids and DVDs.  It can even take vids you make yourself and bring them straight to a DVD Disc.  I have yet to test that out, but I'll tell you how good it works once I get around to it.

You can even create your own music vids with it.  I plan to recreate my "Unfaithful" vid with this baby when I'm done with other things.

The program along with the adaptar cost me $50.00.  It took up a nice 5 GB of space, but with all it can do, I say it's worth it. :)

The only downside is how long it takes to save the file on my computer. (Longer than the movie itself.  I know it has TONS of frames to go through but come on!) It also takes time to start up, but once it gets going, it runs REAL smoothly. (Really makes WMM look like a load of crap.)

Can you believe all I got for just $50.00?  I'm still shocked by it all myself. :)

Guess what?  When I went to Wal-Mart earlier today, I saw some of the LBT movies on stock again :D.  Perhaps they're making a comeback, or this is simply to tide fans over and bring in new ones before a new sequel comes out :yes.  I hope it's that last one I mentioned.  Maybe Pokeplayer or any of y'all could tell us if this has happened in your local Wal-Mart.  I know...typical of me to bring up an old subject, but I just thought I'd let y'all know ;).

Yes, but I consider them to be at the worst place possible if you want them to sell to new comers.  They're right next to Barney videos. :rolleyes: Still, they're only the 2 movies in 1 DVD sets, and they're not even the more popular ones.  I did temporarily see LBT 3 in the Toys section, but that sold out soon enough and they haven't refilled it for several weeks.

With all the songs I've put up on YouTube, I expected more than this if the company at hand was willing to respond to the popularity of a series.  After all, the videos get comments daily.  Shouldn't that say something on the popularity of the series as a whole?

It's more popular than people want to admit.  It's a series that deserves to live on until the end of the human race.

I agree the same could be said for the Ace Combat game series.

Yes, I can imagine translating would throw the timing off and likely certain words would not rhyme at all.  And some expressions may be hard to translate without using more words, which would throw off the timing, or substitute another phrase in that language that means the same or close to it, which would again mess up the timing.  I am curious if Littlefot, or others, have a certain language, or languages, they prefer to listen to and watch the songs in, or certain songs they prefer in a specific language.
For the most part, the Spanish ones are well done, I think, though I only have Spanish for 10-13

There is no particular reason the series can not continue, though that is true also for many other series also, though not all.
